Guest guest Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi again, thought I would post this separately since it is a bit involved. My oldest is 7, has high functioning autism and ADHD and prior to SCD, even when on GFCF (and a lot of other free's) he had chronic D and C and stalled weight gain, adrenal fatigue, yeast issues...you name it! Anyway, he has progressed wonderfully on SCD, we are soooo happy for him. Now we are coming round the bend on 2 1/2 months and I think he is having some kind of flare...last week we were on vacation and he was constipated for 3 days (unheard of now) then was acting seriously wacky when in public but calm and fine when alone with the family (felt safe and so he chilled out). We came home and his behaviors improved but he had crazy loose emergency poops for two days...probably went 12+ times in less than 24 hours, including several hours in the middle of the night. Now the poops are back to constipated and he is avoiding eye contact, he is whiny, he is avoiding interaction, he won't answer us ....all the things we dealt with before the diet, minus the raging tantrums, thank goodness. I have cut back his banana intake so I can't blame that for the constipation, he is eating fewer now than ever. Sooooo, what is this? Is this the dreaded 3 month flare? Intolerance (I haven't changed a thing in this time)? Die-off? How is die-off different from a flare? I have been looking for the answer to these questions here and elsewhere and it seems like we don't know...is that the case? Is it so different for each individual that there is no answer? Hoping not, Chrissy mama to 3 boys on SCD 2 1/2 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
